It enhances paint viscosity and extends drying time, allowing for advanced blending and impasto techniques.

## Description

From the manufacturer Gel Mediums All Gel Mediums Add Body Increase 'open' time Dry transparent or translucent Extend the volume of paint Hold brush or knife marks Make an excellent archival adhesive for collage Gel Mediums add body to thinner paint for impasto techniques as well as extending color volume and adding transparency. Gels also add 'open time' as they tend to dry slower than thinner paint films. These mediums also also modify acrylic paints in a variety of ways and, since they contain acrylic resins, tend to improve adhesion and durability. Gel Mediums available Gloss Gel Gloss Heavy Gel Gloss Super Heavy Gel Matte Gel Matte Super Heavy Gel Ultra Matte Gel Slow-Dri Blending Gel Modeling Paste / Light Modeling Paste / Flexible Modeling Paste Liquitex Acrylic Mediums In addition to the widest array of Professional and Student colors, Liquitex offers the broadest possible range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. We understand that mediums are often a difficult concept to grasp until you actually dive into them, so we’ve tried to simplify usage by classifying products in three distinct categories: Prep, Paint, and Finish. Prep Surface preparations set the foundation for stable and permanent color applications by sealing and adding tooth to almost any painting surface. We offer five different types of prep products available to accommodate all types of work. Paint Within the painting category, there are several different types of products you would use besides the color itself. They are Fluid Mediums, Gel Mediums, Additives, and Texture Gels. Each of these products are explained further within this brochure. These painting mediums allow an artist to adjust the working and optical properties of the paint film to accomplish an astonishing variety of techniques and applications. Finish Varnishes are applied over a completed piece of work to change or unify the surface sheen and protect the painted surface from the environment and ultraviolet light. Whether you are Prepping the surface, Painting the masterpiece, or adding the crucial Finishing touch, Liquitex offers the proper medium to achieve any desired result. Explore your possibilities even further by mixing Liquitex acrylic color with any of our mediums.

Review: Gran producto - Gran producto, ligeramente costoso pero de muy buena calidad
Review: Using it for dioramas to create water ripples - Saw this stuff in a tutorial on youtube. Does exactly what it says, bulks out acrylic paints, and makes very realistic ripple effects on poured epoxy. I just painted a 1.5 inch wide band on a sheet of plastic, and peeled it away when dry. Looks pretty good as a water fall. It drys crystal clear, so if you want to make white caps this will need to be over painted, drybrushed with white. There are other products out there that dry white, best to use them but for ripples, and waterfalls this is very good stuff.
